Who Said You Can’t Wear Bright Colour’s???

Hello Dolls!







Have you ever wondered if you brighter colours would look good against your dark skin but were afraid to try out this new trend? Ever wondered what bright colours could work for your skin tone? Or if you had to be a certain skin hue to pull off a bright colour like yellow?
Well I'm here to tell you, you can wear any bright colour you want AND in any combination! Colour blocking is a huge trend right now. Colour blocking is when you take 2 colours and combine them together in the same outfit. For example, purple blouse and a solid bright yellow pair of capris. Or a purple top with orange bottoms, either a skirt, shorts, or pants. Triads are also another hot trend which combines 3 colours together, a beige skirt with an orange top and navy blue cardigan, or a blue and white horizontal stripped skirt with a solid pink cami and beige shoes! There used to be rules to the triad trend regarding sticking with colours in the same family but the best triad and colour blocking I have seen is when you just go with what looks off but good. Sounds weird but it works. So you can have a yellow maxi dress with orange Mary Jane's with white ankle socks and green cardigan and a straw textured hand bag. Ok, I hear your gasps but humour me. It does look good!

Well since this post is about bright colours and dark skin AND colour blocking and triads AND seeing is believing let me show you better than I can tell you J












Here is a wonderful example of a dark skinned woman wearing a Triad; orange, blue, yellow and white.


I love dresses and there is nothing more feminine then pink on a woman. In this case, the pink on the second model pops against her skin and the length of the dress is sexy even though it's touching the floor.















Do you see how this blue POP's off the last model's skin??? It's gorgeous on her and figure flattering. The belt accentuates her small waist and the length of skirt complements her hips. Now notice the cut of the blouse. This cut flatters her broad shoulders because the belt draws the eyes into her waist this the broad cut of the blouse and the flare of the skirt over her hips creates an hourglass figure on the model. Very flattering! In terms of the triad notice how it absolutely works on the first model. The blue, beige and purple complements each other but even better is the orange, beige and blue bounce off each other so beautifully that its almost perfect symmetry. With all those colours competing for your eyes attention a muted shoe is best in this outfit. Anything else would be overwhelming.
More women, dark, light or white should wear orange. It's just a gorgeous colour that compliments everyone! Notice how well it works on these models, each with a slightly different skin tone making special point to the last three models. Let's talk about them first. The last model is wearing a fitted orange dress with beige shoes! G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S! Beige shoes are a great choice when it comes to this colour. The cut and detail in the dress would be overwhelming with a more detailed shoe in a bright colour. Cool colours work best. The middle two models are also wearing this colour very well; the brown shoes and the cool blue does the opposite for each dress. The brown sandals tones it down and the cool blue heels dresses it up and makes a statement that's bold, sophisticated and daring. Last but not least is our dark skinned model. What can I say? She is FAB-U-LOUS! The orange absolutely pops off her skin and compliments her skin tone so much. It accentuates the smoothness of her skin, her eyes and those fabulous white shoes she is wearing. Orange is one of the BEST colours women with dark skin can wear. Do you want to turn heads, wear a orange top or dress and watch the smiles, lingering stares and great attention you wil be soaking in! Don't say, I didn't give you anything J



Another awesome colour on darker skinned women is YELLOW!! Man, talk about a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day! Look at how it makes her skin pop, her teeth seem whiter, her skin look like its glowing and her eyes stand out that much more. She looks amazing! Every black woman should have a little yellow dress, long or short hanging beside that little black dress in their closet!

Now ladies, do you see what I'm talking about? Who said that you have to limit your choice of bright colours by the tone of your skin? Who said you have to be a medium dark in order to pull off an orange, or a teal?? Which by the way look amazing on dark skin!

I hope this helps you ladies out there. Don't be afraid to wear whatever colour you want. Your dark skin is a gift in so many ways! Don't be afraid to use your gift and make it work to your advantage all the time J



Goodnight lovies!!
